efi: Fix boot panic because of invalid BGRT image address

commit 792ef14df5c585c19b2831673a077504a09e5203 upstream.

Maniaxx reported a kernel boot crash in the EFI code, which I emulated
by using same invalid phys addr in code:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffff280001

There is also a similar bug filed in bugzilla.kernel.org:

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195633

The crash is caused by this commit:

  7b0a911478c7 efi/x86: Move the EFI BGRT init code to early init code

The root cause is the firmware on those machines provides invalid BGRT
image addresses.

In a kernel before above commit BGRT initializes late and uses ioremap()
to map the image address. Ioremap validates the address, if it is not a
valid physical address ioremap() just fails and returns. However in current
kernel EFI BGRT initializes early and uses early_memremap() which does not
validate the image address, and kernel panic happens.

According to ACPI spec the BGRT image address should fall into
EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA, see the section 5.2.22.4 of below document:

  http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI_6_1.pdf

Fix this issue by validating the image address in efi_bgrt_init(). If the
image address does not fall into any EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA areas we just
bail out with a warning message.
